Walking with God

Book excerpt: Feet Tell Stories. Tracing footsteps is like following the plot of a story. Footsteps demonstrate where you have walked in your life and point to where you are going. Your spiritual story is important to God. He is the author of your faith and the One who walks with you. Let Walking with God be your exercise book for the next chapter of your life. "We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. He will not force us to walk correctly before Him. We have to do that ourselves. We must get into the habit of doing things — to instruct ourselves in the way we must go." (Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, May 10.) Faith + Action. Each of the fifty short chapters in Walking with God highlights a metaphor from the Bible to help you intentionally coordinate your feet and your faith. Each chapter sets out: a spiritual goal, a new place to go with God, a deeper discovery as you walk together and a way to make that footwork metaphor become real in your life. Your walk with God is the story of your spiritual life. He wants to join you on the journey Go far.
